Re: taxonomy, phylogeny and cultonomy

From: "D.J. Leedy" djleedy at netex.quik.com> on 2001.06.26 at 00:51:44(6881) Okay, I'll play. If you bred a taxonomist with a phylogenist would you get a phyllotaxonomist (one who studies the arrangement of leaves on a stem and in relation to one another)? Is this hybridizing, line breeding or inbreeding?
